Life in Vilankulos is substantially slower and less busy than Maputo. Basically it is a small beach town. Our time here was mainly spent laying in the sun in various locations. We took an over night dhow (African sailboat) safari to the Bazaruto Archipelago. We motored to 2 mile reef, where we got to snorkel. Next we sailed to Bazaruto Island where we hiked the sand dunes and ate lunch. The views were amazing. We were surrounded by white sand beaches and turquoise waters as far as the eye could see. We then sailed to our campsite, which was actually quite luxurious. They even had hot showers!! We sat by the fire under the stars while we waited for dinner. During dinner we had a nice conversation with a swiss family that was traveling around Africa for six weeks. Then we killed some spiders, chased a gecko out of the tent, and we were ready for bed!
The next day we sailed to Margarouqe Island where we spent the day at the beach. Unfortunately we were hiding from the sun because of sunburn from the previous day. We still managed to enjoy our time and the island was beautiful.
